Devoted and Disgruntled Archivist

Both participants pretty damn negative about the whole possibility of this ever coming off.

Influence taken to mean simply getting as large an audience as possible – of course it’s impossible to influence everyone in the same way – each individual has a different experience.

Idea of a multi venue event nation wide to try and capture as big an audience as possible i.e. same performance going on in different venues around the country/world. But would each audience receive the same performance ?

Idea of tricking people into attending a football stadium then presenting them with a stage show – would probably piss a lot of them off was the general consensus.

Idea of the literary aspect of theatre – i.e. the script, being able to reach a far wider audience - but this was due to it’s accessibility and reading script is not going to see/being part of a performance.

Idea of films on performances seen as irrelevant – just films then.

The ‘no’ answer was undefeated.

Overall idea of why would you want to affect a mass audience? Why are we unhappy with just ten people being affected/influenced/witnesses?

A discussion about how to create a genuinely safe and open atmosphere in improv classes from the first class someone takes.
How do we protect students from potentially harmful experiences which can arise from the rigidity or literal interpretation of 'Yes, and' ?

These are notes taken as Guy Hartnell shared about the Oogly Boogly project, where performers improvised with babies by copying their movements and sounds, while the babies' parents watched. It took place inside a large inflatable venue. The notes were taken by Catherine Ryan.

This was an experimental workshop combining the work of Frank Torino and Richard Coaten who met on the pavement on the way to Day 4. I discovered Frank had an interest in mental health and in improv work with theatre students in Denmark, mine was in how carers of people living with dementia might benefit from having access to improvisation and its role in maintaining their resilience, quality of life and relationship with their loved ones...meta theme - great link made between Franks' You Be Me'

Examples of poor practice were considered, along with discussion of why some presenters regularly achieve successes.
The need to understand this question in a national context, and take action to deal with it, was recognised as a desire to achieve a cultural shift. For this to work, it will be necessary to begin with exciting marketing teams i
